Magnetic therapy products claim to provide relief from pain that affects the joints, muscles, and soft tissues in the body. There are claims that this type of therapy works for pain felt from conditions such as fibromyalgia and arthritis. Magnetic products are found in pillows, mattresses, ankle bands, necklaces, foot pads, bracelets, and rings. Some advertisements claim that using the products in bedding will cure a person's insomnia. The way the products work is scientifically unknown but the claims say that a magnetic therapy bracelet helps to increase a person's circulation and alter the electromagnetic field that surrounds him or her. While this therapy is endorsed by alternative medicine the scientific medical field generally does not endorse it. Other sources say that the products help with carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, tendonitis, knee pain, and can even help cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes widespread pain in those who suffer with it. The pain that is associated with this syndrome is primarily soft tissue and muscle pain. People who have it generally have problems experiencing restorative sleep. Sources claim that sleeping on a mattress that has magnets will help provide pain relief so that restorative sleep is possible. Some studies done on magnetic therapy products have shown that some people do get relief from pain. Other treatments that can provide relief from fibromyalgia include eating healthy, exercise, relaxation therapy, and taking prescription drugs. The most common prescription drugs that are prescribed to fibromyalgia patients include antidepressants and sleep aids.
Diabetic neuropathy is caused from a person's blood sugar levels remaining too high for a long time thus causing nerve damage and pain. Circulatory problems are also a problem with many diabetic patients. A magnetic therapy bracelet next to the skin is said to relax the blood vessel walls and increase blood flow. Diabetics may also benefit from wearing foot pads that contain magnets. One of the important issues associated with foot problems in diabetics is the lack of circulation and blood supply to this area of the body. This is why a patient has to be monitored closely when he or she suffers a foot injury. Without circulation the injury may not heal properly if at all. Some sources say that wearing foot pads can relieve tingling, numbness, and pain in the feet.
Arthritis is a debilitating illness that causes joint pain especially common in the knees, hands, and hips but can also affect the wrists, elbows, shoulders, and ankles. Some forms of the illness such as rheumatoid arthritis can even cause crippling and deformities in patients. As with diabetes magnetic therapy products are said to increase circulation thus helping to relieve pain. The best types of magnets used to relieve pain are called static magnets. Exercise is important for individuals who suffer with arthritis pain. However, exercise may be difficult on days when the discomfort is bad but even a little activity will help with circulation problems and pain. People with serious illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis should talk to their practitioner before starting any new type of therapy.
There are some important reasons not to use products that contain magnets. Most medical doctors advise that pregnant women should not use magnetic therapy products because the effects to the unborn child are not known. In addition, patients who wear pacemakers, defibrillators, and insulin pumps should not use magnetic devices since they could affect medical devices. Some sources claim that when a person wears a magnetic therapy bracelet that it can have an affect on pain throughout the entire body because of the increase in blood flow. Claims suggest that static magnets contain iron so as a result more oxygen reaches all of the body's tissues. Other claimers believe that magnets can alter cell function. So there should be caution used for patients with diabetes and heart disease; the concerns are good reasons to consult one's practioner before using magnets for pain.
Practitioners in alternative medicine generally believe that the use of magnets will expand. Some claims say that magnets can help cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy. The idea is to wear the device where the tumor is located and in doing so more of the chemotherapy is drawn to that area. This method using magnetic therapy products might also reduce the side effects that patients often experience during chemotherapy such as nausea and vomiting. Suffering with cancer and treatments such as chemotherapy can be devastating but God's word provides hope and comfort for those who take the time to study. "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope" (Romans 15:4).
People who choose to purchase magnets should know that doing so from a reputable company is best. Check with consumer protection agencies for concerns and using a credit card to make a purchase can make it easier to procure a refund when making a purchase for a magnetic therapy bracelet. These types of products can be costly and the manufacturer or retailer should offer a money back guarantee if they do not work. A person should know if the item is helping his or her pain level in a short period of time after putting it on. Before making the purchase a consumer would do well to verify that the devices ordered are static magnets. These devices come in different strengths; the ones that are the strongest are going cost more than the weaker ones.
